Fall Mini Album

Last month we had a giveaway and Dawn, one of the winners received a fall mini album with copper leaves. Dawn made this album FABULOUS!
I love the tree she used on the cover. To see more of Dawn's Fall mini album go here.
I cannot tell you how excited I am to see that someone has used a Sketchbook Designs album. I'm imagining its much like how a designer feels to see their dress on the red carpet :-)
Dawn, thanks for sharing this!

The stockings were hung

These stockings were perfect for a banner. Here I used two packages of the chipboard stockings, mirrored letters, white and mirrored snowflakes. This came together very quickly as most of the work was decorating each stocking and waiting for the glue to dry. I used so much diamond dust on these stockings, but it was the perfect amount of sparkle for me. Everything is loosely tied to this garland I picked up at Michael's. This was a quick project with a big impact! What do you think?

Feelin' Crafty

I must admit that I'm pretty proud of the way this turned out. When I first cut these leaves out, I knew I wanted to make a wreath of them, but hadn't had a chance to do so until now. I used four packages of chipboard leaves and painted them different colors of metallic paint. My two year old helped out and loved every minute of it! Once they were dry, I hot glued them to a circle I cut from scrap chipboard. A couple of the leaves were adhered with pop dots for a little dimension. Once it was completed I added a little ribbon and was done. The project really didn't take much time to complete. My goal is to make two more to hang on the mantel.
The holiday season really puts me in a crafty mood. I think I've got four or more projects I'm working on at a time.
We've got some really cute Christmas items we're working on...stay tuned for some project ideas.

Technical Difficulties

So I had some minor problems fixing up the blog. I ended up deleting everything out of frustration and starting over. I am going to get the older posts up and more pictures up too.

We've been working on more Christmas items lately and I can't wait to get them listed in the shop. I'll get pics posted tomorrow of the new goodies!
